A Company
of Collaboration

While WMS is renowned in the industry for its legendary Culture of Innovation, a key ingredient of that culture is the teamwork and collaboration that takes place amongst our talented employees to design, develop and produce our innovative products and services. Our new Technology Development Center incorporates numerous collaboration meeting areas and lounge settings to stimulate creative conversations, innovative ideas and teamwork.

“Teamwork is a fundamental key to our success. We collaborate across all departments—from product creation to production to field installation—to deliver high-performing games and exceptional service to each and every customer.”

“WMS is a fast-paced, high-energy environment where innovation and passion are at the core of our ­organizational culture. The depth of dedicated employees within WMS is impressive and inspiring, and is what ultimately will help drive WMS forward for years to come.”

“What makes WMS special is the ­passionate effort put forth. Numbers never fully convey the time, energy and emotional investment that made them possible, but at WMS, it is these intangibles that separate us from our competition and will ultimately enable us to ascend to the leadership position in the gaming industry.”

“WMS employees, through teamwork and their contributions during our Kaizen events, more than doubled the capacity of our present ­participation production cells in the last 8 months by eliminating waste in our process. We simply listen and make it happen.”

“Through teamwork and collaboration, WMS employees continue to join together across functions for a single market-driven cause…to create new, innovative, fun and exciting games for players to play which is the core of our ­business. players play games; and it is players who drive casino purchases of our products by voting on the games they love via the dollars they play.”

Rob R.

“In today's typical work environment where everyone is doing more with less, it's nice to be a part of the WMS team where colleagues proactively solicit various opinions to create innovative, differentiated, better products. It speaks to a high level of collaboration and the passion to do an exceptional job.”

Steve B.

“What's inspiring about our process is that everyone has a say in how the final product takes shape. We gather all of these hyper-intelligent, creative people and collectively design, play, refine and play again, as a team, until the game is perfect. We demand the highest quality and level of polish from everything we do and WMS people deliver.”

“Collaboration, Teamwork and Innovation all came together in the concept creation for our next-generation cabinet that will succeed our tremendously successful Bluebird2 cabinet. During an intense one-month period, individuals on computer-aided design (CAD), part makers working from those CAD designs and some good old innovating on ‘napkin drawings design’ (NDD) enabled us to mock up the concept and create the basic design being used as we now gear up for the production cabinet.”

Wally S.

“At WMS, we're focused on gaining tangible benefit and progressive organizational impact from collaboration. We see it as building and maintaining shared insight and perspective. This gives us an innovative edge, from the start, when distributing responsibilities across our teams.”

Mark F.

“The framework of collaboration is well established at WMS, where cross-functional teams are often used to achieve a common purpose. At our location, I see them providing a good forum for meeting, co-operating and collaborating on common issues and challenges, and offering solutions that impact all employees.”

“Significant improvements, including improved quality and a reduction in waste, have been made to our processes through teamwork and collaboration by individuals involved in Kaizen events and other continuous improvement activities. And, Innovation is apparent throughout our improvement events as teams strive for ‘creativity before capital.’ ”
